Don't you already have a mini-USB B cable sitting around for use with a cell phone, camera, MP3 player, or whatever? If you want to buy mini-USB B cable the price will depend on how quickly you want/need to have it in your hands. For example, meritline.com is offering a Belkin 5-PIN Mini-B Cable F3U138ODM06 for $7. (It was $2 cheaper 2 weeks or so ago.) http://www.meritline.com/belkin-6-ft-pro-series-usb-5-pin-mini-b-cable-f3u138odm06---p-38430.aspx But it'll (probably) take 1 to 2 weeks to arrive after you order it. (Longer if the place you order from is closed tomorrow for Columbus Day.) A generic cable will cost less of course and probably work just as well. Not sure what you'd pay in a shop these days ... I haven't done that in a long, long time. I usually either already have the cable sitting in a pile someplace (I have a LOT of spare USB cables) or I'm just not in enough of a hurry to get the cable to not order it through the mail. But seriously, before you buy one I strongly suggest you first make sure you know *which* flavor of USB cable you need to make it work and also check to be sure you don't already have one sitting around for use with another gadget. -irrational john --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
